Important Summer Dates for WVU Football Recruiting
Every summer is a big summer in Morgantown, West Virginia. It's the time of year when the WVU football coaching staff makes the most progress in terms of piecing together that year's recruiting class and starts forming relationships for future prospects.
Throughout the month of June is when the most action will take place. With three weekends of official visits and several days of recruiting camps, this is where offers start flying out left and right and even a handful of commitments are typically made.
